Hello All,
This is my very first aquarium. I have a 20H tank, Eclipse 2 hood, with 6 cory cats, three oto cats and about a week ago, I added a pair of Powder Blue Dwarf Gouramis. Well, the male is Powder Blue. The LFS didn't know what type the female was. She's a pale creamy gold with pinkish irridesence, no stripes or markings (any ideas anyone?). Back to my question. For the last few days, the male has been building a bubble nest in the front corner of my tank under some floating leaves. I have a combo of silk and real plants. He's been chasing the female around and she's getting quite round looking. His colors have gotten much more intense and a little darker particularly along the bottom edge of his lower fin. He appears to be enticing the female under his nest but she's, so far as I've seen, resisted. How long does this go on before they'll finally have eggs? I have lots of plants and hiding places. What's the chance some of the babies might survive? Any insight is appreciated!
Thanks!
